WOOD FlLLER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N0. 410,144, dated September 3, 1889.

Application filed February 27, 1889- Serial No. 301,341. (No specimens.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GRANVILLE M. BREINIG, a citizen of the United States, residing at New Milford, in the county of Litchfield and State of Connecticut, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Wood-Fillers, which is aration that has a tendency to consolidate by standing. Such compounds, especially sileX, when ground into paste, having the oils and driers in combination, are sure in time to settle and gradually become so hard as to make it almost impossible to so. efiectually stir as to secure the proper and relative mix ing of the several ingredients which originally obtained, and to which was due in great measure the benefit and efficiency which resulted from their adaptability to fill and keepfilled ii the pores of wood and maintain unimpaired the high polish of which the surface thereof is then susceptible. Before the article is used it is ordinarily thinned with turpentine or oil. bly the principal one necessary tofa perfect filler. It is essential to prevent this hard settling, and this is what I claim to accomplish.

by the compound now to be described. The difficulty is radically overcome by mixing with the silex, likely to separate after grinding in oil by long exposure before use, one part of finely'eground meal of wheat with thirty parts of silex.

What I claim, and desire to secure by Let. ters Patent, is-= A compound for Wood-filling, containing silex ground in oil in combination with ground meal,in proportions substantially as specified.
